Bremen (B2B) - Chelsea kalah di pertandingan pertama pra musim mereka dengan skor 3-0 oleh Werder Bremen di Jerman.
Bintang Belgia Thibault Courtois membuat penampilan pertamanya dengan seragam Chelsea pada pertandingan tersebut. Namun ia tidak bisa berbuat banyak karena Bremen memimpin dua gol hingga babak pertama usai, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Bintang Belanda Eljero Elia membuka skor dari titik penalti pada menit ke18 setelah kapten The Blues John Terry dihukum karena memegang bola.
Sundulan Ludovic Obraniak yang kemudian menggandakan keunggulan tuan rumah sebelum istirahat merupakan hukuman bagi para pemain belakang Chelsea.
Pada babak kedua legenda Chelsea Didier Drogba masuk ke lapangan menggantikan Diego Costa. Namun, Chelsea kembali membuat kesalahan kecil sehingga Werder memperpanjang keunggulan mereka dengan penalti kedua.
Nathan Ake melakukakan pelanggaran sehingga Felix Kroos (saudara Toni Kroos) mencetak gol dari jarak 12 meter.
Chelsea masih memiliki dua pertandingan yang tersisa dari pra-musim mereka, yaitu pertandingan melawan Ferencvaros dan Real Sociedad sebelum Liga Premier mereka di Burnley.
Bremen - Chelsea lost their first game of preseason as a near full-strength lineup was well beaten 3-0 by Werder Bremen in Germany.
Belgian star Thibault Courtois made his first appearance in a Chelsea shirt as he started in goal, but he could do little as Bremen took a two-goal lead into the break.
Dutch star Eljero Elia opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 18 minutes after Blues captain John Terry was penalised for handling the ball.
Ludovic Obraniak´s header then doubled the hosts´ advantage just before the break as he punished some static Chelsea defending.
Half-time saw Chelsea legend Didier Drogba return to the fold - as he replaced Diego Costa - but Chelsea again made little impact after the break as Werder extended their lead with a second penalty.
Nathan Ake was harshly ruled to have conceded a foul and Felix Kroos - brother of Toni - slotted home from 12 yards.
Chelsea have two matches remaining of their pre-season, with games against Ferencvaros and Real Sociedad to come before they open their Premier League campaign at Burnley
